Outstanding! Even a decant didn’t improve this. This is a baby. Cassis, blackberry pie, currant, pipe tobacco on the nose. Palate was very similar. Needs a few years to gain complexity.

Beautiful expression of earth and fruit. Started out tight but with some vigorous decanting, it emerged balanced and elegant. Smokey fruit, lots of tobacco, cedar, and allspice. Chewy tannin, resolved acidity, all around delicious. Drink now!

Jan 18th, 201610'Decanted for 45 minutes. Needed hours! This wine has got so much going on. Bold tannins, black cherry, tobacco,layers of complexity. Would of loved to have tried this in 10+years. Hell the 2nd day. One of the best second labels!

Big ripe fruit, but with good balancing acidity. Rich texture.
